"At a time when many schools are struggling to become more inclusive within a contradictory national policy context, this book provides some helpful practical leads. Its central message is that of the importance of developing an inclusive school culture within which every child really does matter." Professor Mel Ainscow, University of Manchester, UK
"It is a most useful resource for both practitioner-researchers and for school-based initiatives. Written in an accessible style and designed in a format that makes it ideal for use in continuing professional development, it is just right for the needs of twenty first century headteachers and their schools. I highly recommend it as a stimulating and supportive springboard for fruitful dialogue." Jenny Corbett, Emeritus Reader, Institute of Education, University of London, UK
